Good luck passing smog
This is my 89 Trans Am bone stock. 5.7 TPI 93K
The guy that just tested my GTA said they lowered the pass numbers 30% Dec 1, 2011. Looks like he was right. I'm sure it's across the board.
Here are the pass numbers from Jan 2010
AT 15 mph AT 25 mph
HC CO NO HC CO NO
108 0.71 767 83 0.58 706
Here are the new numbers
76 0.50 537 58 0.40 494
I failed both HCs and the 15mph NO. I would have passed with flying colors at the old numbers.
This arbitary lowering of the allowed emissions is total BS.
Time to remove CARB and AQMD from the gene pool.

They want ALL cars to pass as new....and are making the standard force the issue.
The smog laws require techs to repair vehicles to "as new" standard...not just clean enough to pass. It has not been enforced, but that is changing.

The class action suit against CARB is one BAR exam away from being filed.

I've heard that guaranteed to pass stuff works, buy it at autozone and just put it in your tank.

According to a smog tech in our 3rd gen club put the guaranteed to pass in the tank and drive it for a couple of hundred hwy speed miles to clean everything out. Then have at least 1/2 tank of gas so the evap test works.
Put the GtoP in, went to Victorville and back at 70-80 - Didn't work. |

i am having major issues getting my 2000 honda s2000 to pass smog as well. I have 130,000 miles on it and cant get it to pass. I am looking for a smog guy that takes cash and just passes the damn thing at this point. Good luck with your car, I look forward to seeing how you get passed. I need a miracle

This is concerning considering i'm building the 88 the way I am with the sole purpose of passing smog, they cant expect old cars to pass the way new cars can. This is bullshit, almost ready to move to vegas...

I'll be the intellectual foundation, like a modern day TJ. Plus I have an AR lower now.
